Title: Tip to surface spacing for optimum dispensing
Inventor: BARRY JAMES V
IPC: G01N1/00
Filed: 1992-03-18
Abstract: Perfusion is a well-known problem associated with dispensing apparatus. Although various techniques are known to remove some of the problems associated with perfusion, there is still a problem when the liquid to be dispensed needs to be dispensed onto a surface, for example the surface of a test element, as a steady stream. In this case, the stream must be controllable as perfusion is obtained when it proceeds too fast causing puddling on the test element surface. Furthermore, if the stream is too slow, it may break up into droplets which spatter on impact with the surface producing other problems. Described herein is a method for automatically adjusting a dispensing tip (30, 34) to be at a proper distance from a surface (37) onto which liquid is to be dispensed which precludes the dispensing stream from puddling up or from breaking apart. The method features the formation on the tip (30, 34) of a meniscus (m) of a nominal small volume and advancing the dispensing tip (30, 34) and meniscus (m) until the surface (37) is contacted. The resulting decrease in pressure in the tip (30, 34) is measured to stop its advance towards the surface (37) and then to start dispensing. In circumstances wherein the contacted surface (37) is hydrophobic so as to ideally require a meniscus depth greater than the nominal depth, the tip (30, 34) is retreated from the surface (37) during dispensing to an ideal depth (Δh').

In a method of manufacturing prerecorded magnetic tape (2), before the information is recorded on the magnetic tape and while the magnetic tape is guided by the height guides (25, 29), first the first height guide (25) is adjusted in a direction parallel to the width direction (71) of the magnetic tape during tape transport, the first pressure roller (103) being kept clear of the first capstan (55). Subsequently, the second height guide (29) is adjusted during tape transport, the second pressure roller (105) being kept clear of the second capstan (57). The positional change of the magnetic tape (2) at the location of the magnetic-head unit (5) is fed back during the adjustment until the magnetic tape (2) has reached such a position relative to the magnetic-head unit (5) that during recording the information is recorded in tracks (115) within a specified tolerance at the specified position on the magnetic tape (2). After this, the information is recorded on the magnetic tape.

Abstract: In a system including a plurality of modules coupled together by a network with a protocol governing communication between the modules, when a module is to be reset it sends a signal to the modules to which it is connected requesting permission to reset. A module receiving a permission request signal completes any communication in progress with the module originating that signal, possibly using short cuts to complete the communication, and then issues a permission granted signal. When it has received permission granted signals from all of the modules to which it sent permission request signals the first-mentioned module is reset. A module connected in a chain of modules may have means for storing an indication that a permission request signal has been received but not answered, so that if the particular module is reset at that time a permission granted signal can be issued after the module is reset. Alternatively, the permission request signal is applied continuously or repeatedly until a permission granted signal is received.

Abstract: An active acoustic attenuation system prevents overdriving of the canceling output transducer or speaker (14) by shunting at least part of the correction signal (46) to a parallel shunt path (306) and away from the output transducer (14). Variable gains (308 and 310) are provided in the shunt path (306) and the input to the output transducer (14) for varying the ratio between the part of the correction signal (46) supplied to the output transducer (14) and the part of the correction signal (46) shunted to the shunt path (306). A first adaptive filter model (40) has an error input (202) from the error signal and outputs the correction signal (46). A second adaptive filter model (142) models the output transducer (14) and the error path (56) between the output transducer (14) and the error transducer (16). A copy (312) of the second model (142) has an input from the output (46) of the first model (40), and the output of the copy (312) is summed with the error signal (44) and the resultant sum is supplied to the error input (202) of the first model (40), such that the shunt path (306) is provided through the model copy (312).

Abstract: Apparatus for cleaning granules (10) comprises a hollow vertically-disposed elutriation column (A) into which granules (10), especially small plastic pellets, having adulterating dust, fine particulate and debris entrained therewith are propelled on a stream of ionized air from an upwardly inclined injection tube (B) so that the granules (10) and adulterating dust become temporarily suspended and float within a medial portion (2) of the column (A). Suction imposed from an upper portion of the column (A) draws off the lighter weight particulate at the top of the floating suspension while the larger granules fall to the bottom. Pairs of AC electro-static discharging means (D1, D2) diametrically disposed at opposite portions of the injection tube (B) which is conductive to define a reference electrode (20) isolated from ground are electrically connected to opposite sides of a high voltage AC transformer (G) expose the adulterated granules (10) to a balanced ion emission thereby effecting neutralization and assisting separation of the fines from the coarse granules prior to entry into the elutriation column (A). Fine-from-coarse separation is achieved when the dirty granules with entrained ions are exposed to a high velocity air blast as they are propelled into the elutriation column (A). The entrained ions serve to neutralize the granules (10) and fines suspended within the elutriation column (A) thereby eliminating the possibility of their re-attachment by way of electro-static charging due to friction with the elutriation column wall. A pair of diametrically opposed electro-static discharging means (F₁,F₂) at the lower portion (18) of the elutriation column (A), which is similarly conductive to define a reference electrode in isolated disposition with respect to ground, are also electrically coupled to opposite sides of a second high voltage AC power supply to provide balanced neutralization of the cleansed granules which are then collected for re-cycling or re-use.

Abstract: An apparatus for converting received analog signals to digital signals comprising an analog-to-digital converting unit including a first converting section for generating a most-significant segment of the digital signal, and includes a second converting section for generating a least-significant segment of the digital signal. The apparatus further comprises a multiplexing unit for presenting samples of the received analog signals to the analog-to-digital converting unit and a combining unit for combining the most-significant segment with the least-significant segment to generate an output digital signal. Each analog signal is received by the multiplexing unit via a respective input channel, and the multiplexing unit delivers the analog signals to the converting unit in a predetermined sequence. Each analog signal is delivered in a first sample packet to the first converting section in response to a first clocking signal and is delivered in a second sample packet to the second converting section in response to a second clocking signal. The second clocking signal preferably follows the first clocking signal in sufficiently short a time with respect to the period of the analog signal that the first sample packet and the second sample packet essentially are the same sample of the analog signal.
